# Creating a network design in two stages

## Purpose

The Comsof Fiber Integration Module for Network Manager Telecom provides a workflow for designing a network in two phases. The first stage calculates the feeder layer and the second calculates the underlying distribution layer.

For large areas, (>20k points), it may be desirable to adopt a two-stage workflow:

- High level design: Determines feeder network and demand clustering.

- Low level design: Determines distribution and drop for a given cluster (‘cabinet area’).

This approach permits designers to work on different cabinet areas without clashing.
